OK. So where do I start?

Whats the easiest to get going? Looking for something thats going to give me immediate returns (dont mind if its small) to get me going...

Any suggestions?

There's no such thing that will give you immediate return. You will have to work on it first then reap the reward later.

Beginning to realise this...

Hi

Until recently i was a newbie like yourself, a fellow poster on another forum pointed me in the direction of a good E book which is where i started from, its rather well priced and the theory works, i know because ive done it!

Also you know its not a scam because the gentleman's name is Tony and he runs a anti scam forum.

This is not my product and is not the main way that i make money on the web now, but like i said it started my off on the right foot. If you fancy having a look at it then PM me and i will send you a link to it.

I also just signed up, this place seems great. I've been over at DP for some time now.

Start by doing something that you enjoy. It doesn't have to be your life passion, but if you are doing something that you enjoy you won't be too discouraged if you don't get immediate results.

For the quickest results, I would say sell your services if you have any skills in writing/coding/etc.

Otherwise, focus and keep going. Decide if you want to be an affiliate or do your own product creation. Choose a niche and a product. Build a website or at least a squidoo lens and start getting traffic.

You just start everything that you interest
Good luck

I assume that since you've posted in the aff mktg sub-forum, rather than in monetization, you're looking for aff mktg advice specifically?

Join up with all the major affiliate and CPA networks, you should be able to find a listing (there's probably one on here), if not google for it.

I like Azoogle, Max Bounty, Copeac for CPA offers.
For affiliate offers, you can try share a sale, linkshare, CJ among others.

From there you can either do the trial and error route, together with reading forums and blogs.

Else you could look at some of the training resources out there.
If you're new, you could look at Jeremy Palmer's High Performance Affiliate Marketing, James Martell's Affiliate (ok, i forgot the full title), and Ros Gardner's Super Affiliate Handbook (make sure you get this years edition).

Whatever you read though, it's what you put into practise that'll generate the income for you.
